Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast

In this podcast, we discuss mystical works of literature, primarily Taoist text, and how they relate to alcohol recovery. Taoist Philosophy can be an excellent tool for embracing the idea of a "Higher Power." Nature offers all of the examples necessary for a concept of a source of all life, much different but yet very similar in many ways to more traditional religious thinking. Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching;

2023/08/03

In this podcast, we discuss how Taoist principles relate to our personal addiction recovery journey. The Master leads by emptying people’s minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know. Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place. — Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching, Verse 3 We are looking forward to seeing you at an
